Iolani,
a unique vacation retreat located in Upcountry Maui.
A vacation in
Upcountry Maui is an
opportunity to escape from the hustle and bustle, and experience
a different side of Maui. Set just
a few hundred feet above sea level, Iolani sits outside the rain band,
on the edge of a hill, at the entrance to the quiet,
rural town of Haiku. Just one mile down the road is the town
center, with a variety of amenities and services.

cafes. From the lunch time fish taco stand, to breakfast, lunch
or dinner at Colleens, there is both variety, as well as quantity:

Activities
and Adventure:
There's really no shortage! The Haiku area is close to world
class
surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, hiking, and biking.
Be sure to visit Donnie at Go Cycling Maui (recently relocated to Paia
town). They offer the
ultimate cycling tour experience, treating you like a professional
cyclist (sort of like a fantasy camp for cyclists). They are also
a full service bike shop with high end rentals.
Haleakala Bike Company is also located in Haiku, and offer a very
different service. They drive to the Haleakala park gate and
provide a bike for you to cyle down at your own pace.
For a quick hike, be sure to visit Twin Falls (about 10-15 minutes by
car from Iolani) and hike up the stream to the waterfalls.
They're a bit chilly, but there's nothing like swimming under a
waterfall.
If you want to soar over a gulch, the Piiholo Zipline is a short ten
minute drive from Iolani.
